Robert Steele on Health Care

Health education instead of regulation

50% of every health dollar is waste because of Congressional corruption

95% of Medicare costs are unnecessary and imposed by Congressional corruption

Health is a four-part challenge: healthy lifestyle, healthy environment, natural and alternative cures fully integrated into best practices at all levels, and honest patient and family centered medical and pharmaceutical remediation.

Health and education should be public services as are fire and police, and individuals and business should have obligations--to be fit, to provide toxin-free environments

Toxic foods and unhealthy foods should be exposed to the public for what they are--education, not regulation, is the best means of repressing unhealthy offerings

Opposes more federal funding for health coverage

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "More federal funding for health coverage"?

A: Oppose. Federal programs are out of control and largely corrupt, with over 50% of every dollar shown to be fraud, waste, or abuse.
PriceWaterhouseCooper's report, "The Price of Excess," documents this. In addition, because of Congressional corruption, Medicare drugs cost us 90% more than the rest of the world because Congress will not allow negotiation.
Health is four-part challenge: individuals must be responsible for their own fitness; organizations must provide healthy environments free of toxins; alternative and nature cures must be
well-integrated in all health practices, and medical and pharmaceutical remediation must be both a last resort, and honestly intelligently administered.

Cut military-industrial complex back to $300 billion a year

Q: Do you support expanding the armed forces?

A: Strongly Oppose. 4% of the force (the infantry) takes 80% of the casualties (dead and wounded, many amputated, 18 a day committing suicide once released from active duty) and receives 1% of the budget. N
Secretary of Defense in recent memory, including the current incumbent, has had the intelligence & integrity to get their job right. We need to cut the military-industrial complex back to a maximum of $300 billion a year, placing emphasis on the infantry
and everything in direct support of the infantry, on a 450-ship Navy of many small distributed ships, on a long-haul Air Force that allows us to close all of our overseas bases, and on creating four forces after next, each coherent and capable: Big War
Force, Small War Force, Peace & Stabilization Force, and Homeland Restoration Force. The US Department of Defense is completely broken at the policy, acquisition, and operational levels, as is the rest of the government. It needs a leader with INTEGRITY.
